This PLL-based circuit implements a touch-switch circuit using the PC board or small metal pads as sensors; it is radiometric and thus insensitive to changes in temperature and supply voltage.

This is a very simple touch sensor switch that is build with the 555 timer IC. You just need to touch the metal plate and the relay gets energised and is kept in this state for about 100 seconds, then ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...

Capacitive touch switches work by measuring the change in capacitance of a PCB (printed-circuit-board) pattern depending on the placement of a user’s finger over a sensing pad. Capacitive switches are ...

Take a quick look at most older appliances, consumer products, and even medical devices of just a few decades ago and you’ll see their user front panels are covered with traditional, protruding ...
